[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabeepk:
For me it was Backup Restore causing the issue

I had the same issue with almost any kernel I had used. Faux's, Kohlk's, Stock kernel everything.

But now apparently I have gotten the issue fixed, so far my widgets do not disappear anymore.

What I simply did was,

I cleaned everything, re-flashed my ROM, webtop, I use PureBlur which comes with Faux's overclocked kernel, which I replaced with the stock kernel, cuz I don't want to overclock ma phone cuz it drains battery and heats up my phone.

After that what I simple did was, that I DID NOT use Titanium Backup to restore my data this time.

So apparently, either Titanium Backup, or may be my backup had some issues in it. But whatever, not using Titanium Backup fixed it, to may be that fixes it for you guys as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabeepk:
Possibly apps2sd could also cause the same issue.

Not sure but consider this a suspect cause in addition to TitaniumBackup.

(May be this is leading to some issue that exists in AOSP itself ?).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmackk:
Problem loading widget solution

I figured I would chime in just in case this helps anybody else who goes searching for some solutions. I am using stock 2.3.4 rom with Faux123 1.3 GHz v1.9 kernel (found v1.9 works the smoothest and good webtop usability). I noticed that the widgets weren't loading right after installing and using SetCPU (it was working fine before this so I uninstalled) - I am not sure if Titanium Backup caused any issues (as I did not use it to restore apps after I flashed the 1.3 GHz kernel), but after reading previous posts I uninstalled it as well. Either way, the way I got the widgets to start sticking again was by doing the following (not sure if all steps are necessary, but this is what worked for me and have tested with many reboots):

while v1.9 was in use:

-I deleted all widgets

-cleared app cache (used Rom Toolbox)

-fixed permissions (used Rom Toolbox)

-wiped dalvik (used Rom Toolbox)

-powered down

-removed battery

-reboot

I then powered down, then booted back up and went into recovery

-wiped dalvik, flashed stock kernel

-reboot

-cleared app cache (used Rom Toolbox)

-fixed permissions (used Rom Toolbox)

-wiped dalvik (used Rom Toolbox)

-powered down

-removed battery

-reboot

I then powered down, then booted back up and went into recovery

-wiped dalvik, flashed faux's v1.9 kernel

After this, I added my widgets and haven't had to add them again. I also want to add that I have read that fixing permissions does not work and the problem will eventually come back - I will make sure I edit the post if it ever does. Hope this helps.

What is GSU(GALAXY SECURITY UPDATE)?I have seen it in Samsung Apps.What is that APP?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Kind of an antivirus for Samsung android phones. Does what it says in the description, until proven otherwise, lol. I installed it for a second and then uninstalled it. Doesn't look like i need it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Raviteja:
I have Lookout (free version) ..Should I keep GSU or Uninstall it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si607:
Good Point. As general advice is not to run 2 anti virus progs, I am running avg free, wondering as above.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Raviteja:
oh ya you are right.Forgot about should not run 2 Anti Virus Programs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMegastar:
As per my understanding, GSU (Galaxy Security Update) is just a security update which keeps your phone safe from viruses, trojans & other malware. It is NOT an anti virus program like the AVG Anti Virus. You cannot open or run the GSU...it will just show you the version when clicked, nothing else will happen. It remains in the background. It's something which you can compare with the Windows Security updates that you regularly get from Microsoft. I don't think there is any harm in installing it on our phones, unless proven otherwise. I'm keeping it for the time being.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Raviteja:
I have Lookout (free version) ..Do you think GSU and Lookout (free version) both installed will be safe?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crush:
TheMegaStar already cleared the confusion. Both are not same. One is antivirus and another is security update.

So both can stay together happily
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarinas:
GSU has been a nice and quiet background app, hopefully doing some good on my SGS2.

However after the ICS update, it's been bugging the system. The phone "hangs" quite often and after ca 30sec. an error message appears saying GSU has stopped.

It is no longer listed in my apps and I don't see a way of removing the thing.. :(

Any ideas anyone?

[HTC Sensation] NoSubstitute:
I accidentally regged the same account in both Facebook and 'FB for Sense" (it felt logical at the time, but I have a secondary acc for work). Is it possible to replace one of the two accounts with the correct one,

without

losing the now synced contacts? They are now part of my merged contacts and I don't want it to touch them, if possible.

I'm actually asking two different things, but so closely related that I figured I'd only post a single thread.

1. Can I have two separate FB accounts on the phone?

2. Can I replace one currently active account, without losing the synced contacts? Losing only the "connection info" linked to the old FB account isn't a problem, as long as I don't lose the actual person from my contacts.

As a follow-up on Q2, if that is possible, which FB-app should I use to replace the acc, FB or 'FB for Sense'? Will either of them affect my contacts less?
[HTC Sensation] NoSubstitute:
Seriously, nobody knows?

I can understand nobody really having the need for several FB accounts, but not so much that nobody actually knows if it's possible or not, or which (if any) of the two standard clients would be best to use to setup the secondary account.
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
I'm struggling to get ONE facebook account to work and sync properly.

I only have about 20 phone contacts, close friends and family, but I have about 300 facebook friends.

Every time I try adding my facebook account, all 300 of my facebook friends appear when I press the PHONE button to make a call.

Is there any way of linking my 20 phone contacts to their facebook accounts, without all the other fb friends appearing in the phonebook?
[HTC Sensation] krat0s123:
there are two ways to do it. first would be to go under your contacts, hit the menu button on your phone, view and uncheck everything that links to facebook.. another way is go to your facebook app, go to main page by clicking the back button once, then hit the menu button on your phone, settings and go to the bottom where it says other settings facebook sync contacts and select "remove facebook data anc hit ok.
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
Neither of those work, they either leave loads of FB contacts in the phonebook, or remove all the facebook data including the links to my phone contacts.

I just want the 20 people in my phonebook to be linked to their facebook profiles.

Has anyone captured to tmobile ota? I don't really want to upgrade with the LG tool.. being able to put the ota on the phone and flashing it sounds like the better option to me!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nguyen2011:
I'm running CM7 on my phone. My 2 brothers running rooted stock 2.2 (I did it for them). Just wondering will OTA be pushed from T-mobile for rooted phone, or I have to update it manually? I asked my brother a couple time but he said didn't get any message from Tmobile yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] H0B0Byter99:
Same here

I've got the same question for my G2X. I rooted it using Superoneclick and now wish to flash it with GB provided by LG.

Do I have to unroot it before I update it? If so, can I just use the "unroot" feature of superoneclick?

Do I have to get it back to factory defaults? If so, can I use the "unroot" feature of superoneclick and then use the restore feature in the phone and then update to GB? Or do I even have to "unroot" it before I use the restore to factory defaults in the phone?

I don't mind updating it manually using the LG Mobile Support Tool I just would like to know what to do next. I'm kind of excited about the improvements they've made in GB and would like to take advantage of it I just need to know how to go about it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
Here ;) don't forget to hit the "thanks" button.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes, but you won't get the July 15, 2011 baseband which is the best part of the update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
i thought the primary reason ppl were going through the hassle of upgrading to the OTA was to get the new baseband... if that is not available, then what other benefit does it offer vs cm7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
That's surprising. I would've thought the official T-Mobile OTA would've contained the update to the baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The regular OTA did contain the baseband but the zip files on this website were made from people's devices and don't contain the baseband. At this time the only way to get the baseband is to use the LG Updater.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
So then it follows that at some point those who received the OTA, before they initiated the actual installation of the update, had an update.zip on their phone's memory that contained the updated baseband, right? I think what the OP is getting at is that it'd be great if someone would've thought to save a copy that zip folder before they actually installed it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes, before installing the OTA update there would have been a zip file of the update on the sd card. I have asked before if anyone saved it BEFORE updating and nobody had it. I also IM'd some people and none of them saved it before installing the udpate. Once the update installs the file is immediately deleted. If there is someone that has this it would help with many issues. It could probably let people install the udpate using the stock recovery, and we would be able to easily extract the baseband and then figure out a way to let people flash the baseband only.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
i haven't updated the baseband yet.. If you want, send me a PM and let me know what I need to do, and I'll save a copy... On cm7

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabamaroping:
Currently running firefly 3.0

Ready to make move to a GB based ROM.

I have a phone that requires the 3 button fix to get into Download Mode.

I've read that using 3buttonfix Odin to GB Stock will soft brick.

THIS IS THE QUESTION.

So, I need to:

1.) DL mode

2.) 1button Odin to Stock

3.) DL Mode *

4.) 3 button Odin fix to make DL mode work

5.) DL Mode

6.) GB stock

* WAIT - Problem here. How do I get to DL mode (step 3) before I have applied the fix to get into DL mode ?

_____________________________________________

Are all these steps necessary?

What am I missing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
you can use adb to reboot into download mode.

a jig is always handy.

root and get a terminal from the market type in:

su(enter)

reboot download(enter)

or root and get the zip version of the button fix and use rom mananger to boot into recovery and flash that...

but that step isnt really needed anyway...the button combo will be fixed when you flash stock gingerbread so all you really need to do from here is boot into download and flash gingerbread. 1 step easy peasy
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabamaroping:
Is a return to ECLAIR necessary?

Can I go directly to GB stock from Firefly?

I'm going to go ahead and order a JIG to have on standby before I do any flashing just to be safe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
YUP thats what my last statement said.

odin will overwrite whatever is on your phone. going to gingerbread or eclair doesnt matter its the same overwrite process. so i would not bother going to eclair at all.

and actually doing it the way you listed has a tripple chance of a hardbrick bcause you are flashing bootloaders 3 times: to eclair, the 3 button fix, to gingerbread.

if you go directly to gingerbread from firefly you are only flashing bootloaders that one time.

OH AND ONCE YOU ARE ON GINGERBREAD DO NOT FLASH THE 3 BUTTON FIX THAT WILL MISMATCH A GINGERBREAB PRIMARY BOOT, WITH A FROYO SECONDARY AND YOUR PHONE WILL BE HARD BRICKED!

Whenever I turn off my phone and try and hold down the volume key, it vibrates and then restarts. Pretty much bypassing my ability to get into HBoot. I even wait for almost a minuter before starting the phone. Only thing that seems to works is a battery pull but this is a pain. So what am I missing here?

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
app "quickboot" should work. Also, power down, then while off, hold vol down press power. also, adb reboot bootloader. also, in terminal emulator, reboot bootloader. Most of those should work.

I tried the vol down but like I said it wasn't working. Quickbook works great so thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Quick boot is the easiest, imo. The reason volume down and power wasn't working is because you have fastboot enabled. To disable it go to menu-settings-power and then uncheck fastboot.

[HTC Sensation] daughterofpower:
Pleased to inform you that Mugen is working on a super extended battery! Thank You, God! So within the next two months I can lay my hands on that very good bad boy! (and I mean the phone itself). lol

I'd been thinking between the G2X and the sensation. The Sensation seems to be the perfect-pretty-much-has-all-that-I-need phone. G2X is pretty much the same, however, I want a 4.3 incher, I don't particularly care for stock Android, I currently have the HTC HD2 and quite like the Sense UI (and 3.0 just looks fantastic!). Plus the colors of icons (I’m not sure what the term is, I’m not exactly a tech head, you know) and such on the G2X, from videos I've seen...I don't know..it just looks cheap to me. *shrugs* sue me, I guess. HOWEVER!! The G2X has an extended battery with Mugen. Now for PDAs(this suddenly sounds like an out-dated term, no?), not having an extended batter is pretty much a dealbreaker! I hate the idea of my charge lasting only a few hours. Ideally, my phone should last me at least 2-3 days with moderate use and a full day with heavy use. No ifs or buts!

So anyways, moral of story:- Now I can go for the Sensation since there'll be an extended battery out soon!! yay!!

Dear [....],

Thank you for your email!

Yes, the larger battery for Sensation is under processing at the moment!

Will release within 2 months!

Please contact me if you need any additional info.

Best Regards,

Jan

NOOB QUESTION: I have never bought a 3rd party battery. i found this one on mugen's site

http://mugenbattery.com/htc-sensation-extended-battery.htm

its 1800mAh. Is that going to be much better than the 1500 stock battery?

is quality an issue with lithium batteries?
[HTC Sensation] stevejau:
I have had the mugen 1800mAh battery for about 3 weeks and it is better than stock, by how much?, tough to answer because i use my phone differently each time I turn it on.

For example, one time i might play a few rounds of field runners and angry birds with some texts thrown in plus a few calls, next time i might just check email.

as a guide only for my use i was getting roughly 12 to 14 hours on stock, now i get about 15 hours or so..not a huge improvement but any improvement is better than none.
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
The reason I like the Sensation is that it is 4.3" yet still thin and sleek. With CHICHITECH 1900 battery my Sensation easily last more than a day without much tweak, and it doesn't require any special battery cover or alter the thickness of the device. There really isn't any need to use a super thick battery to make the Sensation last for 2 days, that ruins everything.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
You know, I've had my Sensation for 2 weeks now and Granted I have Android Revolution 1.1.8 on it, but haven't had any bad battery issues. Although, it seems to eat the most power while I'm sleeping. But I'm pretty sure that has to do with my backup. But it hasn't bugged me at all. The phone's battery definitely lasts me the whole day and then I charge up at night.

Are you guys really getting so little battery time that a bigger battery is necessary? Cause I definitely get about 18-20 hours before I hit 20%-ish.
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
Yes definitely necessary. Don't know how you manage to have that much up time. Well I know I'm a heavy user but still even if I was not I know I would not achieve that much on time. Not unless I started disabling things like background sync and other stuff like turning screen brightness down.

Hmmm.... Maybe your sensation is running on both cores of the dual core processor. Lol
[HTC Sensation] noggind614:
invest in tasker. i did and i really can't be any happier. not only does it do a lot of stuff that i want automatically but it makes my battery last a lot longer. i have my phone set to auto sync every 15 minutes and i have my display turned down to 40% unless i open specific apps and tasker will turn the display up under certain conditions. it really has helped me get a lot more time out of my battery so you may want to try that first instead of waiting to invest $50+ in an extended battery
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
I will have check tasker out. Thanks.

This is my third android device and it seems with each upgrade I am always tryingto find new ways to extend my battery life. Pretty sick of it actually. I would like to by a phone and let it do what its suppose to do with out me tweeking and hacking. This is the first time I considered buying an extended battery vs messing with battery saver and task killer apps that actually end up preventing your phone from doing as it should in the first place.

Sorry done venting. Tasker looks like it may be the diamond in the rough. Thanks for the info.
[HTC Sensation] aznknightz17:
chichitec, go with it for now if you need extended battery life. I did many battery cycle and tests with the 1900mah battery and results as follow: 44+ hrs for light users. 30hrs+ for medium and power users roughly 16-20hrs battery life.
